Well it’s not meant to be the solution, but part of the net zero mix and to deal with unavoidable and historic emissions, once all other venues have been doing their part, lowering emissions and green energy and renewable and whatnot, to develop the technology to mop up the remaining CO2. But at the current trajectory its akin to arranging deck chairs on the titanic.

It just pure is worse to do if it produces more carbon than it captures and if we are producing any power that produces carbon it will be the case as long as we are getting any electricity from sources that produce carbon even if its using clean electricity as it would be better for it to offset it and at the least it would be better to just make more batteries or such to capture it and use elsewhere. It literally is useless unless we are not producing any electricity that puts out greenhouse gases and further have excess to use for carbon capture.
